Downtown Subway relocates to Okemos
The downtown Subway restaurant, 330 Albert Ave., has closed and relocated to an Okemos Wal-Mart store, its franchise owner said. A saturation of East Lansing Subway locations and the opportunity to move into the Wal-Mart, which attracts high-traffic volumes and has "favorable rent factors," enticed owner Ken Adams to make the decision to move in late August. Store ovens, refrigerators, logos and other supplies were moved from the Albert Avenue location to Wal-Mart, leaving the inside cluttered with some mixed Subway restaurant materials, Adams said. "This was purely a business decision," he said. Other Subways near downtown East Lansing created a somewhat saturated market, Adams said.
